More about the Democratic primary fight.

I mentioned yesterday that Senator Clinton has turned a corner and I'm no longer willing to support her in the future, let alone consider her for president. She's been massively insincere about interpreting the results of the nomination process. In particular, she claims she won more of the popular vote.

That's only true if you don't count states that use caucuses. As her representatives go to the party rules committee and complain that every vote should count (meaning Florida and Michigan), she doesn't want you to know that your vote won't count in her arguments to be president if you went to a caucus.

As for Florida and Michigan, the reason their votes don't count is because they didn't vote legally. The Democratic Party set a rule that only four states could vote prior to February 5 and those two states weren't on the list. When they voted before that date, that made the vote illegal. Period. Now, the Florida Democrats had an excuse: the Republicans in their state forced the early vote. As for Michigan, they just cheated.

Maybe the Michigan legislature will also pass a law to vote for President in August, even though the law says otherwise? That way, they can try and influence the other states' votes? There's no difference in why votes in the primary don't count and why votes in the general election don't count if they aren't cast on permitted dates.
